The wordiest of the bunch, this book will appeal to travel and food readers as well as bakers. Scottish-born Colonna writes extensively about her experience moving to France and searching for her place amid its culture, language, and cuisine. By revealing her own early uncertainties and ultimate successes, she makes macaron recipes approachable for apprehensive bakers. Introductions and detailed explanations of techniques are also helpful. However, the book's busy, text-heavy aesthetic makes it less visually appealing than other recent macaron cookbooks. Uniquely, there is a section devoted to savory macarons (e.g., Thai Green Curry Macarons).
